persistence. It is possible that students’ interest dropped because they learned moreabout engineering and were no longer interested, but it is also possible that the lower interest wasa result due to their underachievement. Other parts of the SEVT framework also help to identifylikelihood of persistence. One interesting factor to consider in future research is the perceivedcosts of engineering school. It is possible that a different intervention timeline be used for studentswho receive a C in math, that could occur in the second semester. One on one discussions aboutachievement and effort with either peers or advisors could be both a research project as well as aneffective retention intervention. Additionally, these students may be worried about
, andreflection on the part of the student, which leads to new learning and a virtuous cycle. Allowingstudents the opportunity to continue to practice their Engineering Leadership skills in a safespace over a broad swath of their academic journey allows them to engage more deeply with theunderlying concepts and to practice bringing the capabilities to life over and over until theybegin to become second nature to them.As an example, in our sophomore UPOP program, we approach communication through the doorof presenting persuasively with content targeted to be most useful to students about to go into aninternship. During UPOP’s Team Training Workshop, each student works on a project as a partof a team, and then the team has to present their findings to a

We will need to in-vestigate further to better understand the issue. For understanding our students, insight will beimportant, but for engaging potential students through interest-related homophily, projected inter-est may be more important. • The specific activities in the survey were not of interest to the CS students • The CS students are interested in mathematics in the abstract, but are generally not interested in mathematics activities • Our concern about students feeling compulsion to identify as interested in mathematics was

From this perspective, theymight have very limited information, knowing that the specification is meant to ensure “safety tothe public” and that the higher

traditional design-based research process [32], beginning by identifying our final project goals,identifying several means to achieve those goals, developing an initial design, refining the initialdesign, and finalizing our solution.Outlining RequirementsTo start our requirements, we recognized that platform compatibility issues (e.g., Windows orApple for PC users) often restrict the user base. Therefore, we chose a web-based platform toensure our final solution could reach a broader number of users. Further, use of a web-basedplatform aligns with our goal to provide educational tools free to all users. Within LearnPIV.org,we desired to use the benefits of interactive learning. Therefore, we designed LearnPIV.org toprovide an experimental module that

Across the course of several projects in Colorado, USA, myteam and I have studied various aspects of sociotechnical thinking, social justice, andmacroethics among students and faculty affiliated with university-based engineering programs.We have identified both barriers and opportunities associated with integrating these concepts intoengineering classes. For example, [11] examined the ways in which students perceived socialjustice in a required engineering science core course and found that some students valued theways in which such integration could help them to think ahead toward their future careers. In[12], we assessed the intersection of sociotechnical integration in engineering classes andintrinsic

twoinstances (A2 and E2), there were other educators involved. In both cases, the educator reportedhaving to explain ungrading and negotiate the use of ungrading in order to arrive at the ultimatedecision. Further, in the case of E2 (the capstone course), there was a department expectationthat a significant portion of the grade would be based on student performance.Dimension: Emphasis. Across the instances of ungrading, there were three instances in whichungrading mediated the entire grade (A1, A2, and E1). In the remaining instance (E2), studentswere told that the ungrading effort would account for 30% of the grade (and the rest of the gradewould be based on the capstone project effort).The notion of tradeoffs may not be relevant to motivations, but

IQ testing was put in place to“scientifically” demonstrate the inability of students to advance in educational settings, framingLatino/a/x students as mentally deficient, lazy, unhygienic, and culturally flawed [24]. Examplesof the manifestation of deficit ideologies include: (1) the assumption that home language (otherthan English) could be a barrier for learning [16-18]; (2) the presumed incompetency of studentsbased on race, gender, and other social identities [19, 20]; (3) the belief that community andhousehold practices lead to cultural aspects that are to blame for not adjusting to the project ofAmericanization through schooling [13, 21, 22]; and (4) an overall tendency to blame the victim
